I think you need some orange juice.

I note that in response to Gregory Wonderwheel's reply to you, you quote only the first and last sentence of his longer comment (which you fully quoted previously). Suggest that an ellipsis be used between these two sentences to indicate that they are not consecutive, and, more importantly, to let others know that you are intentionally omitting words. (A grammatical ellipsis is a series of dots like this ... ) If I understand correctly, the example cited of contrivances Gregory intended was distance in time and space.
